lol. Yes, to your corrected version, but that's much more effort. You'd find out if it was stuck in 4WD while you're trying to take the front DS out.

So I jacked up the tire, grabbed at 12 and 6, rocked it and there was no play. I dropped the front driveshaft and will take it for a test drive tonight, but nothing on the driveshaft seemed out of the ordinary. I am starting to fear it may be the knuckle or the axle.
